なって良い。The summary reproducing method command unit 7 instructs the reproducing apparatus 9 to execute the summary reproducing method according to the importance template supplied from the time importance determining unit 4. The summary reproduction method is basically determined according to the importance of each attribute. In the summary reproduction, for example, when it is premised that the program content data for a predetermined time t (summary reproduction reference range) from the start time of each attribute is extracted and the summary data is generated by collecting the program content data. In addition, the predetermined time t is weighted by the importance A for each attribute that is known from the importance template. The reproduction time t ′ after weighting is, for example,
It can be expressed by t × A × C / 50. C is a preference correction value according to the preference information, and the initial value is 1. When the preference correction value C = 1, no weighting is performed when the importance A is 50, the time t ′ after weighting is greater than 50 and greater than t, and the time t ′ after weighting less than 50 is less than t. Become. Therefore, the summary reproduction method command represents at least the attribute of the designated program and the start time and reproduction time t ′ of the attribute.
The predetermined time t may be the number of frames or may be different for each attribute.

Ｃ＝０に設定される。When the importance B is set for each frame of the image of the program content data, the importance B is weighted and corrected by A × C / 50, and the corrected importance B × A × C.
A configuration may be used in which a frame in which / 50 is a threshold value or more is used for summary reproduction. The preference correction value C is determined for each attribute based on the user preference information stored in the user preference information storage device 8 in advance. The taste information of the user may be a subject of interest or interest. If sports is a hobby, for example, in news, if the attribute is sports, C = 1.2 is set in order to lengthen the summary reproduction time. Further, if the genre is, for example, a drama, preference information such that the ending portion of the attribute does not need to be reproduced may be set, and in that case, C = 0 is set.
